The Voter Waltz

Maybe astounded is the right word, describing the feeling I get when I watch the voters get swayed to and fro by the political masters. Because it is in fact complex or made to look that way becomes unimportant as people scramble to make sense of it in time to vote. It's no wonder that when the time comes people end up relying on basic instinct to make their decision. So it gets right back to what the masters look for when divining electable leaders. Remember the masters are interchangeable professionally with those who create pop stars or the next super brand of some sort. Why do they do this to us? To win and because we let them. They know the right way to say "jump", and we say "how high". Why should it matter. Because simply it's just too damn important. Mind you the masters have a place in a capitalistic system. They are vital to our gross national product. If they want to make an automobile the best seller in the world please have at it, everyone benefits. Or make a chicken salad pop group out of a chicken poo pop group, who cares. But when they tinker with this great American experiment it should not be tolerated. The impact steadily increases as does the harshness of the outcome.More later. Got to go. Good to be hear.
